Environmental Justice

Ensuring we are sustainable, economic, and prepared for climate instability is important. Here's what I'm pushing for in environmental justice

• Curbside composting to increase waste diversion and decrease methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas

• Enact a comprehensive climate justice plans to access IRA funds, especially for climate-vulnerable communities in Arvada

• Replace our park turf and wetlands with native plant species using funding available to municipalities from the passage of state law in 2023 that makes $4 million dollars available for turf replacement. This helps conserve water which helps Colorado farmers, ranchers, and others who need water from the Colorado compact

• With city facility updates, ensuring there is solar and other renewable energy to save the city funds on power generation and decrease emissions from the city
